Favourtie Musical Genre

[Lord Sidereal]

Okay, so what's your favourtie musical genre?

[Shadow of the Sun]

For me a tie between fusion, metal and post rock. Heh. That poll is missing some of the more obscure genres that you will find quite a few people around here enjoy.

[Lord Sidereal]

meh, i love funk but it'd depress me to se Funk: 1 on any poll.

[ZombieRockStar]

You're asking me to choose just one?

*head explodes*

I think I'd have to go with classic rock. Indie at a close second.

You're missing "classical" by the way.

[smellie_hippie]

I'd have liked to vote for multiple... but had to stick with "classic rock". That would only be the monster/dinosaurs though... Zep, Floyd, Hendrix, Beatles... not ACDC or Van Halen/Hagar...

I only likes my musicians aged... not saturated. :smallamused:

I woulda put in Blues for SRV and BB though...

[Lord Sidereal]

A Robert J album > anythign else you care to name. But thats an exception to the
rule.

[Amotis]

Shadow of the Sun and Zombie say it all.

If I had to choose it would be between classical, folk rock(and all it's sub genre's, noise/acid/psy/neo folk/alt. country), post-rock, and indie pop.

And then somemore.

[Tharj TreeSmiter]

Hey you left out the one type of music that has proved itself for hundreds of years

CLASSICAL, you know mozart, beethoven, vivaldi, handel, bach, hyden, etc...

[Jester42]

I don't listen to music, just audio books. My wife (an avid country listener) thinks I am a freak for that.

[ravenkith]

It's all about Rock & Roll baby.

From Aerosmith to Kiss to Zeppelin, classic is sweet and tasty...

And I love me some Bush, Nickleback and Staind, too...

whatever I play, it's gonna have some rock in it.

[WampaX]

No Classical? :smallconfused:
Geeze . . . what kinda shoddy poll are you running here? :smalltongue:

you tell 'em, Tharj.

QFT.

*Gasp* No classical, SHAME!

:annoyed:

[Dragor]

Classical Rock all the way. I'm surprised, being so young, and liking Dinosaur bands. Shouldn't I be headbanging to heavy metal? (Although I don't mind soft metal- Nightwish FTW111!122!)

Led Zep, Floyd, and even Van Halen are fine by me. And I laughed when I saw Rap with no votes. I hate that bloated monster of noise.... but Rock isn't much better, I suppose. 10 minute guitar solo's- quite painful sometimes.

[Don Julio Anejo]

You should have been allowed to choose several options..

A lot of people mentioned liking rock and classical at the same time, etc..

And me personally - easily a third of the list. Pop, punk rock, hard rock, heavy metal, dance, R&B, hip-hop...

[Darkshade]

where's the Symphonic Power option?
Death Metal?
Bluegrass?
Progressive?
Trance?

[Don Julio Anejo]

Well trance and dance are pretty similar... and they usually refer to club music.

[Shadow of the Sun]

Dragor- I am a metal fan, but I like classical, post rock, classic rock, folk rock, jazz and jazz fusion as well. Don't worry about it.

[Druid]

Clasic rock. Zeppelin is the greatest!

[ElfLad]

Classic Rock. Beatles, Zeppelin, Floyd, Beach Boys, Stones, Dylan, Boston, Kansas, etc.

[Ms_Elaneous]

Ah, electronica it is. Although some techno, pop, hip-hop, and rap isn't bad now and again. :smallbiggrin:

[Amotis]

Yah, me like electropop and stuff. A cool genre.

[Umbral_Arcanist]

It's a pretty easy choice for me, Bob Dylan and the Beatles are easily my favorites, though i have ecclectic taste beyond that in the general area of "rock" from Tori (Amos) to Tenacious D

[Dihan]

Metal. Though I much prefer symphonic metal.

[General Leitmann]

You're asking me to choose just one?

*head explodes*

I think I'd have to go with classic rock. Indie at a close second.

You're missing "classical" by the way.

and Art Rock... And don't tell me it's similar to any on there, because I would fight to the death against that, hahahaha.

[Fat Daddy]

I have a fairly eclectic taste in music. My collection has toby keith alongside beethoven, next to megadeth and led zeppelin. I had to vote country as my fave but classic rock comes a close second...

[Amotis]

and Art Rock... And don't tell me it's similar to any on there, because I would fight to the death against that, hahahaha.

Ummm...art rock is probably one of the most vaguest terms ever when trying to describe music. I'm sure I could strech it and fit it into a category if I wanted to.

[ElfLad]

Kansas is probably the most famous Art Rock band, but I count it more as Classic Rock. I like most Classic Rock, but I think it's a pretty stupid type of genre because it's based more on time period than style.

[Kjata]

Oh god... I am the only person on this board who likes rap... a little bit of me just died.

[Amotis]

Umm...No? Kansas is prog. rock. Art Rock is more of a name fans call bands, not a genre.

[ElfLad]

Ah, well, I've always heard it referred to as Art Rock. And it kinda fits, because they do have really complex arrangements and such.

[starwoof]

I listen to a lot of Classical music; Zelda, Starfox, Starcraft, etc. :smallbiggrin: I also like classic rock and country. I cant vote for a favorite.

[zachol]

Goa-style trance.

Low key, background music that you could easily halucinate to.
I mean, playlists where the songs are nearly indistinguishable from one another.
Or, they lasting 5 or 6 hours.

I almost always dislike vocals.
There are a few exceptions (RHCP, some Pink Floyd, a very few others), but I've found that I'd like most songs more if they just lacked lyrics.

[Amotis]

That sounds...really boring. But okay man, whatever creams your twinkie.

[Deaddude]

Classic Rock all the way!!!

[Shadow of the Sun]

Yeah, Classic Rock is awesome. But I am still a headbanger. I see metal as an evolution of Classic Rock and Modern Rock as something relatively indistinct- related, yes, but very different.

I am also a massive fan of Instrumental Rock- I have expressed my overall focus on the music more than the vocals, which is ironic in the fact that I am myself a vocalist. Joe Satriani is god.

[zachol]

That sounds...really boring.

If that was the only thing I was doing, then yes, it would be nearly insufferable.

But, when I'm just trying to do "stuff" and don't care what I'm listening to, so long as it's something, it's good.

[TinSoldier]

I went for "Country". I agree with other posters though, that this should have been a multiple choice poll.

The country music that I like has its roots in folk and rock and classic rock and blues, though. You can have the pop-country stuff 'cause I really don't like it as much.

If this was multiple choice then I would have voted for the following:
Classic Rock
Modern Rock
Punk
Metal
Folk
Country
Blues

My CD collection contains all of that as well as some Rap (but not much). Again, like others, I have varied tastes.

[Sundog]

SO MUCH GOOD STUFF!!! But you don't have my fave - the New Romantic movement.

[Amotis]

Neo-Romanticism? Really? Who do you like of the movement? I personally think they're beating a dead horse but maybe I haven't heard enough.

[Omniplex]

old school country for me. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings are all favorites of mine.

[Mr Croup]

Neo-Romanticism? Really? Who do you like of the movement? I personally think they're beating a dead horse but maybe I haven't heard enough.

I could be off base, but I'm thinking that he's talking about the sub genre of New Wave as opposed to Neo-Romanticism. New Romantic included bands like Duran Duran (particularly their earlier work), Adam Ant, ABC, and Ultravox.

That being said, my musical taste is all over the place. I'm a huge New Wave and synth pop fan. But I also adore Elvis Costello (prefereably his earlier agro sound), and really enjoy some good classic country (see Omniplex), Rockabilly, EBM, D&B, Trance, and Futurepop, with a little old fashioned Goth in there as well. I blame it on a confused youth spent going to clubs to much, and subculture hopping.

For instance, the other day in my car I went from listening to Brian Setzer, to Roger Miller, to Howard Jones, to Depeche Mode, to Ferry Corsten, to VNV Nation, then to Sisters of Mercy.

[Amotis]

Oh...I see. The lyrics in his sig probably should of tipped me off.

[Chunklets]

Since the first time I heard "London Calling", it's been punk rock for me!

[Sewer_Bandito]

No ska?! What kind of poll is this? :smallwink:

Quite correct regarding my preferences. I've only heard a little of the Neo-Romanticism stuff, and that will do me nicely, thank you...

[musicnerd]

I chose classic rock but I would also mention my love for classical, which was sadly left out of the poll. I need Queen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and the Beatles, of course, but my life would not be complete without Beethoven, Dvorák, Tchaikovsky, and Hayden.

Other genres I enjoy listening to are Jazz/Swing, Broadway Show tunes, Folk, Motown, soundtracks from my favorite movies, and Johnny Cash (the only country I like)
